MAINS EXAMINATION PARTICULARS

SYLLABUS

PRELIMS SYLLABUS as per UPSC NOTIFICATION

As the Prelims Examination is objective in nature (MCQs), one needs detailed & thorough understanding of the concepts, nuances to solve the application-based questions. Reading the subjects, doing practice questions & learning from the mistakes is the way to prepare. The more you have this positive feedback loop established in yourself, the more chances of you to clear this stage, with revision being the key. Read, analyze & improve.

MAINS SYLLABUS as per UPSC NOTIFICATION

The Mains Examination is where you need to be able to connect across subjects & write descriptive answers, justifying your thought process. The 4 General Studies papers are related and not a strict delineation of subject/concepts exist because you need to relate most issues to each other. The optional you choose, depends on your interest, field of study in graduation & your depth of understanding in it. The language papers serve to gauge the level of expression you have in one of the languages mentioned in the eighth schedule of the Constitution of India. Although English and the language paper are qualifying in nature, you need to score at least 25% in each to be able to clear the Examination.

In addition to this, the Essay paper judges your comprehension, clarity of thought, situational awareness, aptitude, logical thinking & knowledge – an amalgamation of everything. The only way you can be prepared for all of this is through diligent practice & loads of it! You should leave no stone unturned in your efforts to ace this preparation.

While knowledge of concepts and their application would help you clear Prelims, it is their lucid & subjective expression that will help you clear the Mains Examination. The right choice of Optional subject plays a vital role in this.

QUESTIONS FROM 2020 PRELIMS

Q. Along with the Budget, the Finance Minister also places other documents before the Parliament which include “The Macro Economic Framework Statement”. The aforesaid document is presented because this

is mandated by

Long standing Parliamentary convention

Article 112 & Article 110(1) of the Constitution of India

Article 113 of the Constitution of India

(d) Provisions of the Fiscal Responsibility & Budget Management Act, 2003

PRAYAS EXPLAINS

Screenshot of the notes of our Faculty shows what comprises of the Budget of India. As seen, option (d) is the correct answer.

Q. If you withdraw INR 1,00,000 in cash from your Demand Deposit Account at your Bank, the immediate effect on aggregate money supply in the economy will be

To reduce it by INR 1,00,000

To increase it by INR 1,00,000

To increase it by more than INR 1,00,000

(d) To leave it unchanged

PRAYAS EXPLAINS

As per the norm of Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the aggregate money supply equals the currency in circulation plus the net demand deposits in commercial banks. Therefore, whether the money exists in our Demand Deposit Bank Account or as cash in hand with us, it is already accounted for & included in the aggregate money supply. Therefore, such a transaction would have no effect on the aggregate money supply.

Q. In India, why are some nuclear reactors kept under “IAEA Safeguards” while others are not?

(a) Some user Uranium& others use Thorium

(b) Some use imported Uranium & others use domestic supplies

(c) Some are operated by foreign enterprises & others are operated by domestic enterprises

(d) Some are State-owned & others are privately-owned

PRAYAS EXPLAINS

+91 77100 13217

As seen above in the screenshot of notes shared by our Faculty, it is mentioned that in 2008, India signed a limited facility safeguards agreement with IAEA. All the nuclear facilities involved in Military operations would be exempt from this agreement & could use domestic supply of Uranium & other civil facilities could use imported Uranium.

QUESTIONS FROM 2020 PRELIMS

Q. If a particular plant species is placed under Schedule VI of The Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, what is the implication?

(a) A license is required to cultivate that plant.

(b) Such a plant cannot be cultivated under any circumstances

PRAYAS EXPLAINS

Such a plant is invasive & harmful to the ecosystem

Screenshot of the notes of our Faculty shows the break down of provisions of the 1972 Wildlife Protection Act, wherein Schedule VI is shown to include plants that are forbidden from being cultivated.

Q. In India, separation of Judiciary from the Executive is enjoined by

(a) The Preamble of the Constitution

(b) A Directive Principle of State Policy

+91 77100 13217

PRAYAS EXPLAINS

Screenshot of the notes of our Faculty shows the part of a timeline which mentions that Railways were established in India in 1853 & the 1st cotton mill in Bombay was established in 1854. Therefore, during the first half of the 19th century i.e., from 1800 to 1850, India neither had Railways nor huge number of cotton mills. Thus options (b) & c) are eliminated. Option (d) is eliminated as India had huge imports from Britain. So option (a) is correct
